Yes.... my point was your OP wasn't very clear, Crowfoot :razz:
Nifkin you deserve a medal...first you answer my post then slag me off for indecent clarity...or lack of it then blow me a big raspberry out of season
you will notice how interesting my post is...not much response
thanks for your input
cr
w....
out of interest what is your personal pixel density...mine is 24 on the panasonic and 16 on my olympus
both sport a 1/2.5 sensor
nothing but the best for crowie

Well I do beg your pardon, Akela; I thought this was a humour thread; my inside leg isn't really 33".
Plee-eeeeease stop...too much of this uber-techie stuff will drive us all insane...
If I don't have the maximum pixel-density then my images will be utterly unusable, I just know it in my bones...I'll lie awake at night worrying about relative IQ between marques...will my lens resolve enough lpmm to justify the larger sensor or will I contstantly have to upgrade...will i have to create a virtual vacuum around me so my images aren't spoiled by air density fluctuations...
aaaargh!!!

You may laugh but those of us without proper weather-sealed cameras live in fear of windy days that will blow all of our pixels over to one side of the sensor. I believe Olympus cameras have some sort of blow-back mechanism to redistribute them but the rest of us have to shake the pixels back manually and just hope we get the distribution right and not have too much green on one side.

It got too much...
I mean, yes, it's kind of relevant, but it's nothing we as users actually have any influence over...apart from at the point of sale.
Unlike different chemistry choices for processing film and prints, we're pretty much at the mercy of the manufacturers with digital - after you've made the initial equipment choices, then it all comes down to what you do in post.
I suppose for some very critical applications then this does have a bearing and specialist users will no doubt make thier own equipment choices based on different parameters to me: I find it relatively easy in that respect - I just buy the latest Nikon Pro DSLR - though even that's not without pitfalls.
I bought two D3x bodies last year and found them totally unsuitable for the majority of what I do. I've since sold one and replaced it with a D3 with another D3s coming along as soon as someone has them back in stock.
Knowing the theoretics behind the sensor design wouldn't have helped me in that decision - only by using the kit for a while and finding what works and what doesn't through my own shooting preferences can do that.

wowowoow
thats a big tripod...
i know what you mean by golden ratio...i am 67 and my ratio is sort of tinny
or is that tiny
the bigger dslrs have lower ratios...more accelleration i suppose
